Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising soft wheat flour |
1/8 teaspoon baking powder |
1 tablespoon sugar |
3/4 cup shortening |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk, stirring with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. (Dough will resemble cottage cheese and be sticky.)
2. Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface, and knead lightly 4 or 5 times.
3. Roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Stack two baking sheets, one on top of the other. Lightly grease top baking sheet.
4. Place biscuits on top baking sheet, and bake at 450° for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with butter.
